Hsüan-t'ung Dollar Year 3 (1911) MS63 NGC, Tienstin mint, KM-Y31, L&M-37, Kann-227. No period, extra flame variety. Delicately toned in silver and almond color, this choice dollar demonstrates cascading silvery luster that sweeps the fields upon rotation, highlighting sharp devices and no flaws worthy of mention. Most impressive is the characters face, which remains surprisingly clean considering the open nature of the fields, a feature that often proves particularly susceptible to handling. A demonstrably superior selection of the type, and one that only seems to be surging in collector popularity.
